Humor at the Zoo

Today, Sam, Alex, and I decided to take on the Fort Worth Zoo and observe the humor scene.  Sadly, there wasn't as much laughing as there was yelling and pointing. It was more of a chaotic scene of children screaming at the animals and parents looking super stressed out. Sam and Alex made the zoo even more fun by breaking obvious zoo laws, especially when the laughs were at a minimum.  Near the end of an afternoon without a laughter video, we went to the Texas section of the zoo to see the horned frogs, but instead came across a swinging bridge.  We observed a group of Muslim kids enjoying playing on a bridge that coincidentally, we have just played on.
Throughout this assignment, I definitely felt creepy filming all the people that I could. It was weird to think that I'm hitting the age where filming children isn't maybe the best idea. Overall, when we witnessed laughter, it was pure and innocent - the type of laugher we used to have as kids when witnessing new, out of the ordinary, things.

  1. Your bridge clip is quite interesting. I hear muffled voices in the background, but somehow I cannot make out what they are saying..."You're welcome...?"

  2. I also felt creepy filming people! I definitely jumped around on that bridge for a good 5-7 minutes. I felt like a kid again and had so much fun messing around at the zoo. My friend Claire went with me and she hates that bridge so naturally, my other friend and i made her stand in the middle, while we jumped around on it and laughed. It was kind of funny to watch Claire squirm, but I guess looking back it was a little mean. Oops! Sorry Claire!
